    no i think in this case its the server that needs the sheet (as in what happens right before it gets put in a body bag)

    since these are in standard shipping containers you just build a set of slides/rails into the ground and then when its in place you thermite the bolts (makes the nuts a blob of metal)

    So exactly how many folks can gin up the tech (large saw / arch welder) and do so quickly and quietly (you figure several minutes per bolt X say 12 then the time to put it on a truck)

    i think that what you are talking about only hits if either a size or distance threshold gets passed
    so that half gallon of raw milk is legal if you could be introduced to the cow that made it

    just as an FYI what you are talking about is called U3 tech if you like it (and happen to be running Windows) how it works is the drive is split into a "cdrom" volume --this has an active auturun.inf and a few bits and the rest of the drive. The Utility more or less drops the partition table and rebuilds it with just the standard partition.

    and just as a swing of a cluebyfour the first hit for ||wikipedia black powder|| was a full bingo on wikipedia quoting here
    "The current standard for black powder manufactured by pyrotechnicians today is 75% potassium nitrate, 15% softwood charcoal and 10% sulfur." and then gives the method used (ball mill or some other way of grinding it with out igniting it) so all somebody would have to do is buy

    1 Willow rods or chunks
    2 potassium nitrate
    3 sulfur
    4 a ball mill and lead or brass grinding media

    its not about need is about
    1 having fun
    2 knowledge

    Personally i think that within reason it would be a good thing to have some kind of regs on storage but it should stop at

    1 are you storing it safely
    2 do you transport it safely
    3 how much do you have EXACTLY
    4 is 3 correct right now
    heck if you are stocking up for a show i would think that the local PD should drive you in convoy to your house ie PD PD You PD PD (depends on how much Bang you have)

  10. Re:Huh? on A $200-Million Floating Nuclear Plant? · · Score: 1

    1 you don't have to give up LAND to your power plant

    2 it helps if you can float a power plant to a city when AOG , Kookladen or some thing else takes out the normal power plant

    3 if its already mobile then when it starts to wear out you can
    1 park a new one in the same bay
    2 swap cables over
    3 yank out the "nasty bits" and reload
    4 profit !!!!

    what really scares me is what about

    make a statue with some sort with a hollow section and a nonscanable shell (lead paint or similar)
    put a bomb inside the statue with a time/scan trigger (scan starts a clock ) or a no delay scan trigger (don't bother making it nonscannable)

    what kind of body counts can you get from an airport checkpoint???

  13. Re:Windows update is a joke on Microsoft Plugs a Record 26 Security Holes · · Score: 1

    since MS require either a full pallet of money or the first born from a virgin birth to run an update server the closest you can get is Autopatcher.com (you download the file and it expands into the patch set from sp2 to current month-1 (so the latest AP is september since this is october). Not perfect but it should prevent you from being LHF after you get everything installed.

  15. Re:GPL versus public domain? on Improving Open Source Speech Recognition · · Score: 1

    the difference between PD and GPL can be like this

    1 PD is like a public park with the problem that somebody could buy a certain section (say grease a few palms and..) and lock YOU out of it
    2 GPL is like a park owned by some old looney that leaves the gate open (or in some cases owned by a group of folks that HATE Each other)
    PD is free now but could be nonfree later
    GPL is free FOREVER
